Dan Quayle, now its Spiro Agnew. If you have been found guilty of breaking the law are you still eligible to run for VP?

1. Sure, nothing in the Constitution says you can't
All it specifies is that the VP be eligible to be president, i.e., natural-born citizen 35 or older who's lived in the US at least 14 years.

Now, in some states you couldn't vote for yourself if convicted, and presiding over the Senate in case of a tie vote might be tricky, but there's no reason I see why Palin should drop out. Hang in there, Sarah! I have all this popcorn to go through!

2. Thankyou for that information
It sounds pretty crazy that you can run for office if you're a criminal, but you cant vote someone into office if you have a name that sounds like a criminal.
